" THE FISHING TRIP"
Harry, Jack, Nobby and Sam, were lifelong friends and, very fond of the occasional fishing trip, they all looked forward
to that Sundays arranged boat outing, as the fishing reports had been very good in the area where they intended to try their luck.
The one cloud on the horizon was the fact that inevitably if there was any swell, or the sea was a little rough,Jack suffered
from seasickness and despite all the efforts of his friends, and remedies he had tried, nothing seemed to stop his misery the moment the going got a little rough.
The Sunday dawned bright and clear with very little wind and the prospect of a good bag of fish was relished by all, the sea was so calm even Jack did not wear that worried look that he usually had when he boarded the boat.
Oh dear, without warning and in the face of the forecast, a good north east wind blew up with the accompanying swell.
True to form in no time Jack was leaning over the side absolutally spewing his guts out, and after one such heave up he turned
to his friends with a shocked face and said, "Oh Shit!! I have just spewed my new false teeth out over the side".
With that poor Jack's misery was complete, and with no heart for fishing anymore he slumped in the bottom of the boat in silence except for the occasional wretch.
The fishing report had been wrong as well for there was very little fish being caught that day so it must have been out of boredom for
Nobby to suggest a little fun at poor Jack's misfortune.
They quietly reeled in Jack's neglected line, then carefully secured Nobby's false teeth to Jack's hook, which was then dropped over the side again.
"Hey, wake up Jack" said Nobby, "you have got a bite". Jack opened bleery eyes full of misery and said, "Can't have! I ain't got no bloody worm on the hook!". With that the others started getting in on the joke saying "Yes you have Jack, and by the way that rod bounced it does look a good one".
With that Jack reluctantly wound in his line and the miserable look on he's face suddenly changed when the hook cleared the water exposing the gleaming set of false teeth. "Bloody hell!" he said with delight, "I have caught my false teeth back", and with that he detached them from the hook and triumphantly placed them in his mouth "Oh shit!!" he said again, "these teeth are not mine, they don't bloody fit", and with that he snatched them from his mouth in disgust and threw them back over the side of the boat.
